Nice little cafe we found after our Mam’Tor hike, very welcoming, large portions and tasty food. The quiche was out of this world! All little home baked desserts. Accepts dogs too!

After a lovely hike from Mam Tor, we came across this cafe tucked away from the main street, such a picturesque and serene spot. We stopped in for a tea break .The teas were lovely, and we also tried their special of the day, the Angus beef sandwich, which was absolutely exceptional. The quality was excellent and well worth the price. The person at the counter was incredibly sweet and welcoming.Highly recommended if you’re in the area and looking for a cosy, feel-good stop.

Today we tried out dolly’s as we were in the area. I tried the cheese and tomato quiche, it was spot on. Probably one of the best quiches I have had, homemade and served with crisps and salad. Definitely recommend trying this place if you’re in the areaI have attached the menu so you can see what other foods they do.

Nice little cafe in Castleton. Food was nice and the atmosphere was great. Went there during autumn hike around Cave Dale. Ordered Dolly’s Special Thai style cod fish cake. Delicious! Hot chocolate served with Biscoff biscuit and my daughter love the strawberry milkshake. Reasonable price and highly recommended this place.

Lovely tea rooms on the way round to Peak Cavern in a pedestrianised area by the steam. Nice outside seating area. Inside is very clean and light. Good selection of cakes and pastries. We had a beef burger and a lamb burger, both delicious, big plates at reasonable prices. Polite and helpful staff.
